SURPRISE - I got to see DISNEYLAND decorated for CHRISTMAS!!

My best Friend, partner in crime and cute "Goofy" husband, surprised me last weekend and took my to Disneyland for our Anniversary

(which was in June) so I was totally surprised!

He told me a couple days before that he was taking me on a trip and to pack a bikini and a coat??? "WOW," I said, " I am scared" - first, I don't have a bikini - never did - NEVER WILL - and a coat? So I packed sort of "fancy" - or at least I took something other than my "uniform" (PJ's and a paint shirt.)

I thought we would go to New York, North Carolina ? I don't know EAST somewhere and then he handed me my ticket to Disneyland and I about died -

(I know - others would think this was some kind of practical JOKE but...I LOVE DISNEYLAND) so this was truly a gift for me!! We had the best time and if you haven't stayed at the GRAND CALIFORNIAN - do it!

It is a treat and they are running a special right now on room rates.

If you like Disneyland you have GOT to see it decorated for CHRISTMAS!!

We wenton the Haunted Mansion ride 3 times - it is so great and totally different than the rest of the year with Jack and the Nightmare Before Christmas Decorationsand it's a Small World is also magical at Christmas!

So...I have to say walking down Main Street with the song Chestnuts Roasting... filling the air I truly thought I had gone to "the most happiest place on earth" (to quoting a little guy telling his friend that on the Indiana Jones ride)

There were beds of poinsettia's planted of every color - i loved seeing them in the ground and not in a pot at my house dropping leaves!!

And of course Santa and his reindeer's were there - I actually think Santa has his second home in Disneyland - I am going to be looking for clues next time I go....

In Disney's California Adventure - there is a new ride and it is awesome - it is sort of like Buzz Lightyear (for those who know Disneyland) - It is an arcade game and I killed "Goofy" (aka Jeff) - though he may have been letting me win? I will have to see next time we go - ha-ha

AND -this brings me to the biggest problem - I am having the hardest time getting gourds painted - soooo come early - if you want any because my stock is a little lean this year. However, I have sooo many fantastic vendors you won't even miss the plethora of gourds -

I did get a couple more Turkey's done - let me know if you would like one - and stay tuned for give aways at the show - spread the word!!!
